2016 Map of Tule Lake

About this map

The town of Tulia anchors the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the flat plains of Swisher County are carved by the intricate drainage systems of North Tule Draw and Middle Tule Draw. These natural depressions guide water toward the significant local reservoirs, including Tule Lake and the Ray Bivens Lake just to its northwest. Further south, the Bill Bivens Reservoir provides another major point of water storage in this semi-arid environment. The map details a strictly organized grid of county roads, such as Co RD 15 and Co RD 18, which facilitate agricultural movement across the high plains. The path of Tule Cr meanders eastward, crossing under Ranch RD 1318, illustrating the vital role of these small waterways in a region defined by its water management and transit infrastructure.
